Diamond Studs

The bigger, the better.lol . but i don't think i can afford it.

I have 1 ctw dimaond studs and have to say they are my favorite earrings. They go with everything!

I agree- up to 35 points an ear is perfect.

I am not sure how carats work, would i ask for a total of .6?

 

[ame]

.7 max, yes.

1 cttw in my opinion. that is also the size that fits most earring jackets in my experience.

The bigger, the better.

Amen! However, if you like smaller, I suggest you go try different size studs on....everyone's earlobes are different. My sister is only 1 inch taller than me but she can wear 6 cttw studs, but they look ridiculously large on me...

^^will do, everyone's telling me wait for another two years because someone will replace my beautiful 1 carat top grade studs that were stolen, but the way i figure it if i go get a say .35 pair from macys i can put them in a bezel when I actually get those studs instead of buying a whole bunch of cheap earrings till i do.

You won't get high quality from Macy's. Buy good quality ones til you replace the larger ones.

Any size is good so long as theyre not so big they look fake!

Mine are 2 ctw. I like them but ultimately wish they were 3 or 4ctw because I have large lobes; but that wont be happening anytime soon. I bought a pair of jackets to wear with them and it helps satisfy my craving for a larger pair! I posted pics in the reference forum, but here they are with and without the jackets. I just realized how old this thread is! I'm sure OP has already made her decision!

4.97 TCW...perfect size for my lobes and height.
I don't think they look fake and no one has ever asked me.
I think you get what you can afford and what you are comfortable wearing.

Skyqueen, those are gorgeous! I wouldnt expect anything less from you! You have got some fabulous pieces! I think they are a perfect size too.

SkyQueen, you have impeccable taste. But those earrings aren't what makes you sparkle
